The Last Summer (of You & Me): Book summary and reviews of The Last Summer (of You & Me) by Anne Brashares
The Last Summer (of You & Me) SummaryThe Girl of Lost Things tells the story of Gracie Martin, a New Yorker who has a gift for returning lost objects to their rightful owners. It's a talent that plays off her inherent curiosity about things and the people attached to them. Gracie's also fond of tidy endings. But as the years go by, her unusual, glancing experiences with people - strangers, really - and their belongings point up the sort of meaningful connection that's eluded her in her own life. She swears
off her vocation - that is, until she finds a backpack left behind in a taxi, full
of mystery and promise, and convinces herself that, based on its contents, its
(male) owner holds the key to her ultimate happiness. The Last Summer (of You & Me) ReviewsNone Available.
